Re: Kind of white/ish
So, another from this line - though he is not exactly what I'm looking for...
Quiet Godling

So far I'd guess his coding something along the lines of E_ A/a Ch/n n/prl (the pale freckles for Ch/n; one A from his sire; definitly a and n/prl from his dam - as for the rest I'm not too sure...)
Problem is, he seems to have a white/silver mane when there is not really anything in his line that should have silver... is it because he is still young and the mane will darken with age or does the seemingly white come from genes like an additional Cr or something?

Re: Kind of white/ish
This one... I'm not sure it's a chestnut base. If it is, it's likely flaxen, which easily hides under any other color but chestnut, then must be doubled because it's a recessive gene.Nazarach wrote:So, another from this line - though he is not exactly what I'm looking for...

I'm thinking this is likely a smoky black pearl and the 'silvering' of the mane is actually the Lp gene expressing itself.
However, I've been away for awhile and I could be wrong.
